About 3-4 days ago I droped some of those "mushroom seeds" I got a few months ago on a dish of peroxidated agar. Some white fuzz is coming out of one of the seeds and is colonizing the agar. It looks grey where it comes in contact with the agar. Some of the other seeds are developing bluish/grayish/greenish spots.

When you clone Buttons they tend to bruise badly. This is even more pronounced on peroxide . Eventually some will start to show regrowth, some will contam. Like anno said a few if not all will bleed a pigment into the agar. generall this is not good but bleeders canstill recover albeit slower.sub the ones that are wispy at the edges.On fresh agar growth should speed up and be more rhizo, and by the third sub the culture will be white and a normal agaricus culture

Interestingly i threw out som contam subs only to find a month later they hadnt quite made it to the bin. The agricus had crawled over and eaten the contaminanats - i guess thats its nature as a secondary decomposer
